WDW Passholders Beware of Benefit Changes April 1st 2012

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

This is the 2011 version of the standard-issue warning that Disney has put out with its information regarding annual passes and their benefits. It has been stated like this for as long as anyone can remember:

2011 Passholder benefits expire on
December 31, 2011
. All valid Passes will be subject to the enclosed benefits from January 1, 2011 through
December 31, 2011
. Updated benefits will be available for all valid Passholders on
January 1, 2012.

This is the version released on January 1, 2012:

2012 Passholder benefits expire on
May 31, 2012
. All valid Passes will be subject to the enclosed benefits from January 1, 2012 through
May 31, 2012
. Updated benefits will be available for all valid Passholders on
April 1, 2012.

For some reason, Disney intends to amend, repeal, or otherwise tweak the benefits for annual passholders at the Walt Disney World resort and has given itself a window to do so on April 1, 2012. We’ll update you with more information as it becomes available. We really hope it’s not some awful trick they’ll spring on April fools day.
